Entitled The Sovereign Citizen Movement: Exploring Their Ideology & Indicators,
the conference is set to take place on January 5th, 2012 and is only
open to “Public Safety Personnel”. The precise location of the meeting
is only made known to “reviewed and cleared” attendees, a measure of
secrecy crafted to imply that members of the Sovereign Citizen movement
are a potential violent threat.

Indeed, a flyer for the event written by the ADL’s
Joanna Mendelson characterizes the movement as a “right-wing anarchist”
fringe group that uses “paper terrorism” to pursue its cause of
restoring minimalist government and resorts to harassment, intimidation
and violence.

“This seminar is sponsored by the Anti-Defamation League
and facilitated by the Ventura Country Sheriff’s Intelligence Unit,”
states the flyer.
